Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 934:

Norton was visibly surprised by her response. He took a couple more bites, then said, “Grandpa asked me to keep an eye on you. He’s worried about you.”

Yvonne felt less annoyed after learning that it was Edmond’s idea. Still, she couldn’t help…

But she couldn’t help but complain a little. “I don’t need that kind of attention. It feels more like surveillance than protection.”

Norton ignored her comment and added, “As my wife, you need to be mindful of your words and actions. And if you’re going to work, don’t expect any special treatment because of your relationship with me.”

“Yes, yes, you don’t need to worry about that. I’ll rely on my own abilities to flourish in my career. No one even has to know that I’m your wife!”

Landing a job at all was a personal triumph in itself. There was nothing Norton could say that would bring her down.

Yvonne was buzzing with excitement, already fantasizing about the job offers she would get. She was confident that her photography skills would impress any editor. And with Leif polishing her resume, how could she not get a single offer? Her smile turned genuine as she thought of Leif. “Eat up!”

Norton wasn’t sure what she was plotting this time, but seeing her in high spirits put him in a better mood as well.

After he finished eating, she packed up everything and went home. She needed to wait for her job offer—and get ready for the position waiting for her.

She was on a high throughout the day.

When Norton arrived that evening, he found Yvonne curled up on the sofa, her laptop casting a soft glow on her face as she dozed off.

He walked over with the intent to tease her, only to realize that she had fallen asleep. Her hands were still clutching her laptop, with her email inbox open on the screen.

Norton sighed. Why could she never seem to take proper care of herself? What if she caught a cold? Edmond would be beside himself with worry! Norton gently took the laptop from her hands, closed it, and set it quietly on the table. Then he carefully lifted her into his arms.

Yvonne was fast asleep. Feeling the warmth of his embrace, she instinctively snuggled closer.

He briefly glanced at her, then carried her upstairs.

Moonlight filtered through the sheer curtains of the bedroom, casting a silvery glow on the bed. He laid her on the bed and tucked her under the covers.

Her face was bathed in moonlight, and whatever it was she was dreaming about, it made her brows furrow. He reached out and gently smoothed the crease with his thumb.

Then he pulled back and stood up.

The moment he turned his back on her, he heard her mutter something softly in her sleep.noveldrama

He sat back on the edge of the bed and leaned closer to listen.
